<P LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">Have you ever passed long hours
calculating and typing geometric coordinates of FDS objects by hand?
That is a really slow, tedious and error prone procedure. BlenderFDS
is the open source graphical interface for FDS that assists the user
during the input file preparation.</P>
<P LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">BlenderFDS efforts are completely
unrelated and independent from the FDS development performed at NIST
and other organizations. None of these organizations finance,
support, endorse, or otherwise recommend BlenderFDS.

<H2 LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">2011-03-08: BlenderFDS 0.70</H2>
<P LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">Blender 0.70 must be installed on
<B>Blender 2.56a</B> <B>beta</B>. It will not work with other
versions.</P>
<P LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">Blender API has changed again.
BlenderFDS has evolved still. Its code has been largely refactored
for speed and maintainability. Some aspects of the user interface
have been improved. Many small bugs detected by users were solved.</P>
<P LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">The annoying “UI freezes when
exporting” issue is still not solved: Blender fault. When you
export a complex file, you shall wait several minutes for the process
to complete. During the process the user interface remains
unresponsive...</P>
<P LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">BlenderFDS file format has changed
slightly. BlenderFDS can import and update your old files created
with previous versions: geometry is retained, but double check the
properties just to be sure that everything works well. 
</P>
<H2 LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">2010-12-17: BlenderFDS 0.55</H2>
<P LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">Blender 0.55 must be installed on
<B>Blender 2.55</B> <B>beta</B>. It will not work with other
versions.</P>
<P LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">Blender API has changed again. No
problem, BlenderFDS has evolved again! The annoying “UI freezes
when exporting” issue is still not solved: Blender fault. No new
features, waiting for FDS 6.</P>
<H2 LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">2010-10-10: BlenderFDS 0.53</H2>
<P LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">Blender 0.53 must be installed on
<B>Blender 2.54</B> <B>beta</B>. It will not work with other
versions.</P>
<P LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">Blender API has changed a lot. No
problem, BlenderFDS has also evolved! The annoying “UI freezes when
exporting” issue is still not solved. What a pity.</P>
<H2 LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">2010-07-29: BlenderFDS 0.50</H2>
<P LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">Blender 0.50 must be installed on
<B>Blender 2.53 beta</B>. It will not work with other versions.</P>
<P LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">This release solves some small bugs
and can be installed on Blender 2.53 beta. The annoying “UI freezes
when exporting” issue is still not solved. But it's only an
aesthetic issue. I am quite happy with BlenderFDS now!</P>
<H2 LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">2010-05-05: BlenderFDS 0.44</H2>
<P LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">Blender 0.44 must be installed on
<B>Blender 2.52 alfa</B>. It will not work with other versions.</P>
<P LANG="en-US" CLASS="western">It is our pleasure to announce the
first public release of BlenderFDS, an open source, cross-platform
graphical user interface (GUI) for FDS, which has been developed over
the past several months by a small group of FDS users.</P>
